Fishermen's Quarter

There’s no better place to forget the present than on a walk through Ulm’s fishermen’s and tanners’ quarter (Fischer- und Gerberviertel). Its enchanted world of half-timbered houses lapped by water begins just a few steps to the south of the modern city centre. Glittering river Blau, dripping mill wheels, twittering sparrows. The streets run up to the gates in the city wall, where they are greeted by the magnificent view of the Danube. All this makes the erstwhile artisans’ district the city’s most popular tourist attraction after the Ulm Minster. more
